Chapter 12: In each others arms

"Uugh...ow" Axel woke up in what looked like one of the beds in Tails' workshop, he wasn't sure as his vision was slightly blurry. He put his hand to his face and realised that he had a busted lip. He felt like he'd been kicked in the head by a horse. Axel forgot about the his throbbing head for a second as he had a terrible thought. "Blaze!" He shot up. "Ow!" his head throbbed again.

Blaze rushed in immediately, "Axel! Axel." She kneeled down next to him and held his head in her arms, "It's ok, it's ok." she kissed his forehead, which made him feel like all of his problems had gone away. He smiled. This smile however, dissapeared when he saw Silver come to Blaze's side. He couldn't do anything though, he was too weak."

"No. Axel," Blaze held him, and assured him, "Silver's back to normal, its ok." She smiled softly.

"Where's Shadow?" Axel asked.

"He got up a while ago, I'm not sure where he is now."

"Oh." Axel smiled. He was still tired, so with Blaze still holding his head, he fell asleep.

Axel woke up a few hours later, his head felt much better, when he looked to his side, he saw Blaze asleep, she had gotten into his bed with him, maybe she was worried about him. He lay there for a few moments, just comforted by her presence, whether she was asleep or not.

After a couple of minutes, Axel got up. I wonder where Tails is, He thought. Suddenly he felt a pair of warm arms wrap around him, and a warm kiss on his neck. "Blaze..." he turned around to see the amethyst coloured feline and smiled at her.

"Where's Tails?" he asked.

"How should I know?" Blaze laughed. "Let's check his workshop."

Blaze was right, they found Tails working in his workshop along with Silver.

"Hey Tails," Blaze got his attention, "Axel's ok now so we're gonna go home, thanks for looking after him."

"No problem Blaze." Tails smiled at Axel. Silver walked over to them.

"Look guys," he said, "I'm really... sorry, I guess about-"

"It's ok," Axel interrupted, "I know you couldn't control yourself."

Silver could only nod as he watched Blaze and Axel walk away.

"You were really brave before." Blaze said while they were walking home.

"I couldn't let Mephilles hurt you." Axel smiled, he came closer and whispered in her ear: "I love you too much."

Blaze put her arm around him, "I love you too."

With the long detour they took, it was about 9:30pm, so he and Blaze decided to try and get some sleep, despite having slept at least four hours in the day.

Eventually, the two fell asleep. They slept in the same bed that night, just happy to be in each others arms.

I said it in the previous chapter and I'll say it now: I have been writing a new story, "Where do you think!?" so if you're enjoying this story, look out for that, I think it's coming along really well. And as always, review please :)
